Your Questions Answered
IC-DISC Questions
Quick answers to questions from food processing exporters
What is IC-DISC, and how does it benefit food processing exporters?
IC-DISC (Interest Charge Domestic International Sales Corporation) is a federal tax incentive that helps U.S. exporters—including food processing companies—reduce their tax liability. By setting up an IC-DISC, food manufacturers can lower their export income tax rates, improve cash flow, and reinvest in business growth.
Which types of food processing products qualify for IC-DISC?
IC-DISC applies to a wide range of food processing products, including packaged foods, frozen meals, beverage ingredients, dairy exports, meat products, and other value-added food products that are sold outside the U.S. The key requirement is that the product must undergo significant processing in the U.S. before export.
How much can food processing companies save with IC-DISC?
Savings depend on the volume of exports, but food processors can typically save 10% to 20% on the taxable income generated from qualifying exports. By shifting income to the IC-DISC structure, companies benefit from lower capital gains tax rates instead of ordinary income tax rates.
Do small food manufacturers qualify for IC-DISC?
Yes! IC-DISC is available to businesses of all sizes, from small, specialized food producers to large-scale food processing plants. If a portion of your sales comes from exports, you may be eligible for significant tax savings.
What documentation is required to set up an IC-DISC for a food processing business?
To establish an IC-DISC, you’ll need:
- A separate corporate entity structured as an IC-DISC
- A shareholder agreement
- Proper accounting records showing export sales
- IRS Form 4876-A for election approval
- Annual tax compliance filings
Is IC-DISC challenging to set up for food processing companies?
While the setup process involves tax structuring and compliance, working with an IC-DISC specialist like Export Tax Management ensures a smooth setup. Our experts handle the entity formation, compliance, and ongoing tax filings.
